I'm glad you like the role Yellow plays. He's my biggest misgiving about the series--author avatars often go hand in hand with Mary Sues. On the other hand, he plays a very unique role, as you point out, and it lets me do some cool things. Without such a character, my big meta-arc flies out the window. I've thought about replacing him with a character who's not an author avatar, but that would be suspiciously similar substitute which is... cheap.
I don't have opportunity to see many plays, but is this kind of what you're talking about?
